power adapters such as what laptops use are rated for a wide input range. if your existing adapter is labeled something like input: 110V - 220/240V then youre all set. all you will need is a pin adapter which you can pick up very easily for around 50 rupees.
net connection - do you happen to have a quad band gsm phone with support for edge connectivity? if yes just take a prepaid sim, activate the edge service and viola.. if not just pick up any of the gsm/cdma based usb dongles for an internet connection... search around. there are several threads which discuss the same topic... |
